Chapter 997

This time, Zi Chen chose the Body and Sword branches. His method was much simpler than the others. He placed the nine sword steles and the stone wall he had obtained in the past in ten different places, allowing the youths to sense them one by one.

They only had mortal bodies, so the Xiantian techniques wouldn't harm them. After they calmed down and looked at the steles, Zi Chen would assign them to whichever branch they wanted.

The ten items were placed in ten different directions, separated by a thousand meters. Zi Chen stood at the center of the ten items and released his spiritual sense to check the youths' expressions.

Outside, there were a few people in the air. They were waiting for Zi Chen's orders to arrange for these youths.

"Sword branch."

Zi Chen saw an illusory sword in one of the youths' consciousness and said indifferently.

A person walked up and took the nervous youth away. The youth didn't know that his fate would change because of this. Even if he only had a little talent, with the resources Zi Chen had brought back, his future would be limitless.

"Body cultivation," Zi Chen's indifferent voice sounded again.

The Sword Sect and the Physical Body Sect were split into two factions. Only the talented youths of these two factions would receive special training. As for the others, they would be classified as ordinary Physical Body Cultivators. Zi Chen had already decided that the Wuji Sect's development would begin with Physical Body Cultivators.

He didn't expect the Wuji Sect's disciples to have a strong understanding of the techniques after they left. He only hoped that the Wuji Sect's disciples would have a strong physique. Zi Chen's strong physique had helped him survive countless dangers.

After another round of selection, the remaining youths were classified as ordinary disciples. They would begin with body cultivators.

During this time, Zi Chen called the Liu Clan's patriarch over.

After two hours of discussion, the Liu Clan made a big decision. All of the Liu Clan's experts with forging skills would return to the Wuji Sect and establish the Artifact branch.

Now, the Wuji Sect already had seven major factions: sword, alchemy, yin, yang, artifact, physique, and formation. These were all carefully selected. The rest of the slightly ordinary young people were ordinary disciples. These disciples were taught by Wild Wolf, Black Wind, and the others.

After the selection was completed, Zi Chen returned to his room. He didn't appear for three days and three nights. After three days, Zi Chen came out and took out a set of extremely simple but effective body tempering cultivation methods for young people.

This was the first stage of the cultivation method, and all the youths started cultivating from this stage.

At the same time, Zi Chen also took out a second set of Body Tempering Cultivation Methods. This was for the True Energy Boundary miners. Now, they no longer mined and focused on cultivation.

After that, there would be a third and fourth set of body tempering techniques, which would give spiritual source and core source respectively.

At the same time, Zi Chen sternly warned that this cultivation method was not to be spread or traded.

The entire Wuji Sect was like a brand-new machine. All aspects needed to be adjusted. Fortunately, the entire Wuji Sect was a single entity, and there would be no disagreements. After some adjustment and friction, it would become a high-speed machine.

Although the Wuji Sect had already stored up an endless amount of resources, it couldn't support the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of cultivators. As such, Zi Chen planned to follow the mission system of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor and use the method of earning contribution points to obtain resources.

Half a month later, Zi Chen gathered a group of elders at the Wuji Palace. Elder Gui and Elder Ming were also present.

In the Wuji Sect, the Sect Master was the most powerful, so Zi Chen sat at the head of the table. Below him were Elder Gui and Elder Ming. Behind them were Wang Qiong and Wu Liu, and then Lv Peng and the others.

The Wuji Sect was very large, and Zi Chen couldn't see everything. The elders of the various factions first talked about the recent developments.

Zi Chen was very satisfied when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Not bad."

Then, he glanced around and his gaze fell on Zhang Tong. "Zhang Tong."

"Sect Master." Zhang Tong stepped forward and bowed.

Zi Chen took out a jade bottle and sent some energy into it. The jade bottle floated forward. Zhang Tong took the jade bottle and asked curiously, "Sect Master, this is …"

Zi Chen said, "There are fifty drops of Thunder Liquid Essence inside. Use it to purify the Origin Energy in your body and try to become a Connate Martial Artist."

Zhang Tong's eyes flashed. "Connate Martial Artist."

Zi Chen nodded. "That's right. This is Thunder Liquid Essence. It's a treasure among treasures."

Elder Ming didn't answer, but the light in his eyes indicated that he wasn't calm.

Zhang Tong thanked him again and again. He carefully took the bottle and put it away.

"Wild Wolf," Zi Chen said again.

Wild Wolf stepped forward. Zi Chen took out another jade bottle and said, "Fifty drops of Thunder Liquid Essence. Try to transform."

Wild Wolf nodded. The excitement in his eyes was indescribable.

They were already in the late stage of the Primal Core Realm. Fifty drops of Thunder Liquid Essence might not be enough to complete the transformation. After all, the stronger one was, the more impurities there would be in their body and the more Thunder Liquid Essence they would need to refine.

Zi Chen only gave out two bottles of Thunder Liquid Essence. This made the others feel a little strange.

Zi Chen explained, "The Wuji Sect has just been established and needs everyone to guard it. It's impossible for everyone to go into seclusion. After Zhang Tong and Wild Wolf successfully transform, you can go. However, only two people can enter seclusion at a time. As for the Thunder Liquid Essence, I'll put it in the Treasure Pavilion. You can take it as you wish."

The others nodded. Ming Qing's expression immediately changed. He was shocked. These people didn't know how precious the Thunder Liquid Essence was, but it didn't mean that he didn't know. It was an extremely precious thing. Its value couldn't be measured in drops.

However, from Zi Chen's words, it was obvious that there was a lot of it. He actually wanted all the late stage Primal Core Realm cultivators to transform. It should be known that they weren't transforming into normal Sky Realm cultivators, but Connate Martial Artists.

This kind of generosity shocked Ming Qing.

After giving out the instructions, Zi Chen looked at Wang Qiong and said, "During this time, don't participate in the Wuji Sect's matters. Focus on cultivating in seclusion."

Wang Qiong nodded. Right now, he was still at the late stage of Primal Core Realm. It should be known that ever since he met Zi Chen, his realm had always been higher than Zi Chen's. However, this time, Zi Chen had already broken through to the Mortal Core Realm, while he hadn't reached peak Primal Core Realm yet.

"Wu Liu, I'm going to go out with the Demon Ape. You have to take care of the matters here and pay more attention."

Wu Liu stood up and said, "Sect Master, don't worry."

After a simple explanation, everyone dispersed. Zi Chen took the coordinates given by the Spirit Devouring Rat and left with the Demon Ape.

Outside the Wuji Sect, there were two places that seemed to be small worlds. The space was still unstable.

The two went straight to the place the Spirit Devouring Rat had pointed out. When they reached the first place, Zi Chen's perfect spiritual sense clearly sensed the abnormality in the space here. Then, he forcefully broke open the space here.

The space was broken open, and the two places were connected. Zi Chen could clearly feel a kind of pressure from the power of laws.

"This is a small world with a level restriction. If you want to enter, you have to suppress your realm," the Demon Ape said.

Zi Chen nodded. He had already sensed that the requirement to enter this place was the Spirit Origin Stage, which was the Zephyr Stage. Zi Chen did not step into the Zephyr Stage. Instead, he released a powerful spiritual sense.

This world suppressed one's realm, but it didn't affect the spiritual sense from the outside world at all. Under this spiritual sense, Zi Chen saw that there were many strange beasts here.

These strange beasts' senses were very sharp. As Zi Chen's spiritual sense passed by, their eyes were filled with fear, and they prostrated themselves on the ground. Apart from the strange beasts, there were many ancient medicines that were more than ten thousand years old. There were also many resources.

After a while, Zi Chen retracted his spiritual sense and said, "This place can be used as a training ground for Spirit Origin Realm cultivators. There should be some kind of inheritance here."

The small world closed again. Zi Chen and the Demon Ape left. The two of them had many inheritances and resources. Naturally, they didn't care about the things here, so they didn't enter.

After that, they went to the second small world.

"It's still a level restriction. This time, it's the True Energy Realm," the Demon Ape said after opening the small world.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "Yes, let's go to the next place. Leave this place to Lu Peng. Let him build a transmission array."

Zi Chen was quite satisfied with these two small worlds. First, they were big enough. Second, there were enough resources. No one had set foot here for at least ten thousand years.

There were four coordinates left by the Spirit Devouring Rats. Zi Chen opened them one by one and found that they all had a suppressive effect. Two of them were Flying Realm, one was True Energy Realm, and one was Core Realm.

This small world was relatively more dangerous. After Zi Chen and the Devil Ape probed it, they suppressed their cultivation level and entered it one after another.

There were many Core Realm strange beasts in this small world. As soon as Zi Chen entered, he was surrounded by a pack of demon wolves.

The Demon Ape stared at these wolves and said coldly, "Kill them or not?"

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "This is a good place for training. Don't kill indiscriminately. We just need to see if there is anything that can threaten Core Realm cultivators."

The two of them suppressed their realms, but they were still complete Core Realm cultivators. This realm was enough to kill a Human Core Realm cultivator. So, after entering, the two of them were not afraid. They spread out to see if there were any abnormalities.

During this time, the pack of wolves attacked Zi Chen. However, there was a golden light shield around him, and the wolves could not break through it. They chased after Zi Chen for more than ten miles before leaving unwillingly.

After that, Zi Chen saw another big bear. Not only was it unable to shake Zi Chen, but it was also sent flying after a single attack. The big bear's eyes were filled with shock, and it immediately retreated.

Along the way, Zi Chen saw many resources. He sighed in his heart. "As expected, there are many small worlds in this barbarian land."

After discovering these four Lesser Realms, it could be said that the Boundless Sect's resource problem had been solved. Zi Chen could arrange for missions to be held in these Lesser Realms, and all of the Core Essences could enter. Using the things they obtained from these Lesser Realms, they could exchange them for contribution points and other useful resources.

This included the essence of the thunder liquid and the Successive Heaven Technique.

The two of them used more than ten days to explore, but they did not even explore a third of this small world. During this time, they did not find any great danger, so they simply gave up.

The coordinates of the four small worlds left behind by the Spirit Devouring Rats were very useful to the Wuji Sect. After Zi Chen returned, he called Lv Peng and had him arrange everything. At the same time, Zi Chen mobilized many experts to guard the entrance and exit of the small worlds.

Then, Wu Liu issued the mission.

In the Wuji Sect, the eyes of many cultivators lit up when they saw the mission reward, especially those in the True Energy Realm. It had to be known that their current realm was very low, and the Yuan Qi in their bodies was relatively small.

Two drops of thunder liquid essence might be able to transform them into Houtian Realm cultivators. Ten drops of thunder liquid essence could let them become Xiantian Realm cultivators. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, they had to go to the small worlds and fight.

Lv Peng used two months to completely obtain the entrances and exits of the four small worlds. After that, a group of cultivators entered the small worlds one after another.

After doing all this, Lv Peng went into seclusion to refine the thunder liquid.

The Wuji Sect was gradually on the right track, so Zi Chen should also calm down and cultivate.

The barbarian land fell into a short period of peace, but the chaotic land was not peaceful at all. The Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion gave up many resources and mineral veins and did not come out, which puzzled them.
